My daughter hurt her leg whilst trampolining, she couldnt walk, I took her to the hospital (saturday) where many doctors and nurses examined my daughter. I was questioned about being a single first time mum and then told she was fine and to take her back in a few days if she wasnt any better. I then took my daughter back on the monday, she was given 2 lots of xrays first on her hip and top of he leg and then on her knee and bottom half of her leg. I was told her leg was fine and again was sent home. I then recieved a phone call from the hospital on the wednesday, it was the hospital calling to say that they had misread the xray and that infact my 3 year old daughter had fractured her leg. I took her straight back to the hospital and her leg was put in a temporary half cast. I was told to take her back the following monday for more xrays, I did so, my daughter was not given any more xrays and her leg was put in a full plaster. Since, many people have told me that I should make an official complaint or sue the hospital/nhs due to my daughter being left untreated for 5 days which could have made her injury worse. Does anyone think I have a case? Polite replies appreciated, thankyou.
